I love the Daytona bus stop and that guy was hauling. The feeling of going back to full power to set the rear is awesome.

Although I have had the worst luck of any track I love Daytona. Championships lost, multiple motors blown, grass still in my helmet from a massive slide in the bus stop, but I love it. I'll break the curse some day.

Also, I know I am new to this racing stuff, but don't you have to lift off the throttle to push down on the clutch?
Puzzling indeed...
Edit: Just watched it again. I see him lifting twice during the shifts. What am I missing?
dog box or just deft touch and timing re. rev matching

that was a lift and a feather.

my line through the bus stop is turn in early, fly over the grass and then back to full throttle as soon as the car is on the asphalt.

Beautiful to watch but isn’t this the slow way around the bus stop? Professional coaches tell me to carry maximum speed in and get the car rotated mid-corner and WOT as early as possible without drifting. The fact that he got on gas so early means he overslowed the car? His car control is magnificent!!

And a small lift after the feather right before the 2nd curbing. You can see the car rotate with this lift/breathe off throttle and that is when the oversteer starts. After that he is managing the oversteer with throttle and steering.
